Saved From Scrap! Repair BROKEN Double-Acting Telescopic Cylinder!

We’re going to tackle this complex part and show you the step-by-step repair of a broken double acting telescopic cylinder for a Cat 657 Scraper Ejector cylinder. Join us as we take you through the entire process, from removing the damaged end to machining a brand new inner tube. We'll start by cutting and removing the broken section. Next, we'll head over to the lathe to machine out the weld joint and use some heat to help us separate the rod eye and inner tube from the outer cylinder. The old inner tube won't be salvageable, so we'll machine a brand new one to fit perfectly. But that's not all! We'll also show you how to press the new tube into shape and align everything before welding it securely to the rod eye. Once the new inner tube is in place, we'll prepare the outer tube for welding and carefully reassemble the entire part. Finally, we'll machine down the welds for a clean finish, getting this component ready for re-chroming. Double-acting hydraulic cylinders do have a complexity that can lead to a few issues, even a minor leak can compromise the precision of how it works, so join us we bring this broken one back to life!

Because as a geologist, I had the only microscope on board. Found a crack origination fracture - like Kurtis showed - in a die scar. The gripping dies shouldn't be applied there, but on the thicker tool joint. Which I then photographed, from lots of angles. User error by the drill crew, not a failure of the (rented) pipe. Which didn't please the drill crew, but the oil company (who paid my bill) were glad to get an answer. And to have a subject for their Sunday afternoon safety and efficiency crew discussion.

Hi Kurtis and Karen, since finding your channel appearing in my list a few weeks ago, I've been thoroughly enjoying your channel on grinding, machining and welding the large and heavy steel bits that come through your door. I've proven to myself, as I'm still here, churning my way through video after video showing your fine machining skills on high quality alloy steel, where the swarf just peels off the rod and tube in lovely long spiralling lengths. - Cutting speeds perfectly proven! It's just so relaxing to watch a craftsman machinist, welder, fitter and turner in action! Karen, your video and editing skills are second to none. You've obviously now worked out what positions and angles work really well to capture Kurtis in action through all aspects of his work. As an technician engineer in radio communications for nearly 30 years in New Zealand and also Victoria, my long ago machine shop engineering training and skills learnt in the high voltage electrical industry covered most of what Kurtis does, but on a much smaller scale and mostly now forgotten! I've now got my elderly father's tooling and Emco lathe in my garage. I must get back on the lathe and "turn up" a model 5" gauge live-steam locomotive I've been wanting to build for over 45 years! Hi to Homey and the magpies! My daughter now lives up the road in the city, so if I ever get invited over, I'll shout you guys some coffee, food and a quick visit! Thanks for such a fine channel of great engineering content. Cheers from Christchurch, David.

I love seeing you get some good use out of that new deep-reach button tool! Whenever I see you use your shop-made tools I have a moment where I'm like, "I remember when he MADE that!" Also, Karen getting spooked when that outer tube weld finally dropped and it hit the floor was pretty funny. I'd love to see her on cam more!!

Great work on the rebuilt cylinder as aways & I gotta say I wonder how out of control Homeless would have been if you hadn't trained him to respond to commands. Love you guys & it's always a great Friday night watching whatever you're fixing. Love the out-takes too, just the best. Billy J...... Beaudesert, Q'ld. OZ.

Hi Kurtis and Karen, loved watching that complicated repair, I didn't realize that tube could get so crushed, the forces involved must have been massive. I really loved the outtake with the 'Harry Potter' broom riding. It really made me laugh, especially when Karen loses it completely. Cheers from 'Up Over' Montreal Canada

Hello CEE team, greetings from (rainy) Belgium 🙂. Nice breakdown on how to repair double-acting cylinders as explaining how they work. Sometimes they can be a real headache from a machining and precision perspective. Another happy customer and a job well done. Also would like to some time to thank Karin for the phenomenal job of shooting all the footage and editing all it. Have a great weekend, enjoy the 🍺🍻and the BBQ🍖🥩

@@gorillaau 3 months, according to Kurtis. Only a couple of weeks would be time on a (US-AU, probably) boat. Airfreight on such a part would be ... painful. I remember needing a new part at work once - 55ft long. There was only one aircraft on the continent that could take it, and we missed that leg of it's regular routing, so we had to wait another 6 days to get it to the harbour. Then bribing customs. Quite turned our Logistics guy's hair grey. Actually, CN-AU is plausible too.
